As the season's progressed, I've continued to try to find a current or recent NFL RB to compare Wilson to.

Wilson's listed at 6-0 / 194 which is a pretty unique combination as most NFL prospects his height are heavier and those at his weight are a few inches shorter.

Finally, though, I think I may have found a reasonable comparison...

Ahmad Bradshaw

Bradshaw's measurements: 5-11, 195lb

When I'm watching a Bradshaw highlight package (particularly from Marshall), I think I see a bit of Wilson there.

Thoughts?

Bradshaw is a good comparison because of size, coming from a non-traditional Football school.. Bradshaw also seemed to be a winner, but that maybe because he was just on winning teams but Wilson seems to be a winner by giving 100% every play he can.. Also, the injury bug was something that Bradshaw had as well..

Wilson is a lot heavier than 195 this year.  

Not a lot heavier... But just over 200 pounds. Im betting he loses weight  as the season progresses.

He's heavier than that.  

 

Out nutrition folks have been doing an incredible job this year.   Kudos to The Wren™ for finding the monies he did for the table.

Wasn't Wilson around 205 to start the year?

I thought/believe that SL said at the coaches show that Wilson had lost weight, but was/had regained it during the bye week?

I don't think it is much heavier than 205.  What I have noticed is that he is incredibly lean and appears quite a bit faster than he was last year.  He is running away from people.  I saw it first in the Lamar game and thought, well, that's Lamar, but he has also done it against Iowa and Southern Miss.

 Either way, he isnt comfortably carrying his added weight yet.

Huh?  If true, he's going to be a monster when he gets comfortable.

Jeffrey Wilson runs like Demarco Murray did when I got to watch him in my one year at OU. Not quite as powerful as Demarco but makes the same cuts at the same speed.  He's special.  It's too bad he was hampered by all the things we are finally caught up on from a nutrition/wellness perspective.  Oh what could have been.

I remember Demarco at OU and I only went to UNT, 79-10 is hard to forget.

I mean that he will lose the weight easily until he can keep it on for a while

Wilson's style is more in the vein of AP and Demarco Murray. Those guys are run benders. Bradshaw's game relied on elite change of direction, stutters, and lateral agility.

Shameless plug I wrote a little about that here

and part 2

I think Wilson will play at the next level, but I think he will be used like Dunbar has been used. Mainly as a 3rd down back on passing downs. Something to get him out in space. I highly doubt if teams will look at him as a 1st and 2nd down back. Until he reaches age 25, he is going to continue to struggle to maintain weight. Once the metabolism slows, then he will maintain that weight.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
